Why People Don't Sign Up For Your Free Training Sessions (And How To Change That)
"But the session is FREE?! Why don't they sign up?"
It seems counterintuitive to trainers but people don't run to sign up for complimentary personal training sessions. Instead, many run away as fast as they can!
In this episode, I talk why and discuss effective strategies that go beyond just offering complimentary sessions, focusing on building a connection that makes your potential clients feel comfortable and excited to give the free session a try.

Helping Clients Appreciate The Results They Can't See
As trainers we understand the wide variety of benefits that come with consistent resistance training. And some of the best results are actually the absence of something (no more back pain, not feeling winded any more) but that can be tricky to quantify and even harder for a client to notice. In this episode, I offer suggestions for helping clients recognize and appreciate these really important quality of life wins.

Tips To Help Clients Balance Fitness Goals And Relaxation On Summer Vacations
Clients traveling this summer? In this episode, I share my recent experiences traveling to D.C. and discuss how we, as trainers, can help our clients stay consistent with their fitness goals without sacrificing their vacation fun. Learn how to program workouts for travel, make the most of hotel gyms, explore new classes and activities, and even when to encourage clients to take a break from their goals. I also discuss the importance of rest and how to discuss "guilt" when it comes to taking time off.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Coach and Resource
I am one of Foster Strength's clients, as well as a health care provider. My husband and I train with Betsy twice a week and she is helping us both as we recover from major surgeries (me - back, husband - rotator cuff). We have been working with her consistently since July 2022, and throughout that time, she has used her knowledge to help us both get back to where we were pre-injury and surgery. She has never overstepped her bounds, and always defered to the surgeon imposed limitations until they were altered and ultimately lifted. We are well on our way back to our pre-surgery strength level and can't thank Betsy enough for helping us get there. I enjoy listening to her Coach's Chat podcast to learn new things, as well as gain an understanding of why she has us do certain things or at certain times. And so we can be ready for those difficult conversations should they ever arise :)
The stuff certs won’t teach you
I’ve been in the personal training space for almost a decade, and I can confidently say that the content in each episode is invaluable. Betsy covers topics that get into a lot of the practical info trainers need, along with some really solid advice that could only come from someone who’s actually been in the work.
Such actionable advice
In so many of Betsy’s podcasts, she gives actionable advice that applies way beyond trainers and fitness. She gives clear ideas about how to create a safe working environment and talks about meeting clients where they are. As a teacher, I think those ideas can be applied to the classroom. Meeting students where they are can only help students be more successful.
Also, if you’re looking for a trainer or a fitness coach, after listening to a few podcasts, you’ll know how to spot a great coach.
